Jamaica Rhum 35 OP Bottled 1920s-1930s - Quebec Liquor Commission 56.8cl

A 56.8cl bottle of Jamaica Rhum Authentique from The Quebec Liquor Commission, bottled at 35 Overproof, or 77.1% ABV. The label and paper wrapping are woven with blue and red threads which was an anti-counterfeit measure patented in 1926. We estimate this was bottled in the late 1920s to 1930s.

The Quebec Liquor Commission (Société des alcools du Québec) was created following the Alcoholic Beverages Act of 1921. This act repealed the partial prohibition which had been in place since 1919. The Commission acted as a monopoly on the sale and distribution of alcohol in the province.
